I COULD REALLY USE SOME ASSISTANCE. I HAVE A 2007 FORENZA AND YESTERDAY AS I WAS PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE, IT MADE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THE GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY ON THE DASH SEEMED TO GO HAYWIRE DISPLAYING ALL THE LETTERS (D, R, N, ETC) WITH A DIAGONAL LINE THROUGH IT. IT THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL, THEN THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. THEY HOOKED UP THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND IT CAME UP WITH CODES PO700 AND PO705, WHICH VARIES IN WORDING BUT SEEMS LIKE IT'S THE TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR.I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SUZUKI SHOULD TAKE CARE OF A SENSOR COST TO THOSE WHO BOUGHT THEIR CARS. *TR

WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE,IT FEELS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL. THEN WHEN YOU GO, IT DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEARS CORRECTLY. WE HAD THE PART REPLACED THE FIRST TIME IN 2009. NOW ITS DOING IT AGAIN AND THEY WON'T COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

2007 SUZUKI FORENZA ACCELERATES EXTREMELY SLOWLY WHEN HOT. CAR SHUDDERS AND WILL NOT GAIN RPMS. OFTEN WILL NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF STOP LIGHTS. ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES DURING SUCH EPISODES. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIMES. WILL LOSE SPEED RANDOMLY WHILE IN TRAFFIC. AFTER TIME, IT WILL SUDDENLY REGAIN POWER, RESULTING IN AN ABRUPT LUNGE IF ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. VEHICLE CODE SAID PROBLEM WAS WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. REPLACED CAT, BUT IT MADE NO IMPACT ON THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE. WAS ADVISED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE THE SHIFT RANGE SENSOR. HAVE NOT YET REPAIRED AS I SPENT ALL OF MY REPAIR MONEY ON THE CAT REPLACEMENT. *TR

HEADLIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF. WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY BLACK SMOKE BLEW IN MY FACE. ELECTRICAL WIRES WERE ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET OUT WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY THE FAST CARS GOING BY. CALLED 911 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME PUT OUT THE FIRE. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TO FIND THAT MY TRANSMISSION SWITCH HAD GONE BAD CAUSING IT NOT TO SHIFT CORRECTLY....THINKING NO BIG DEAL, I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE SAID THESE TRANSMISSIONS WERE KNOWN AS THROW AWAY TRANSMISSIONS. I CAME HOME AND GOOGLED MY PROBLEM TO FIND NUMEROUS LOWER MILEAGE SUZUKI FORENZAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SOME ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. PLEASE CONSIDER A MANDATORY RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF REPLACING MY TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR!!!!!!!!!! AND NOW AFTER DOING SO, ONCE AGAIN. MY CAR WONT START, BATTERY IS FINE. I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!!!! I HAVE ONE MORE YEAR LEFT TO PAY OFF THIS CAR. I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING THIS PROBLEM. HAD TO REPLACE THIS PROBLEM IN 2009, AND NOW AGAIN. SOMEONE FIX THIS!!!! *TR
